Coronal hole effects are expected to impact the Earth over the next
24-48 hours. There is a chance of significant geomagnetic activity and
visible auroras for Southernmost Australian regions (Tasmania,
Southern coast of Victoria) during local nighttime hours should
favourable viewing conditions exist, sustained southward Bz and
elevated solar wind speeds eventuate. Aurora alerts will follow if
significant geomagnetic activity actually occurs.
